In his younger days he relied on his speed and quickness. Used a change of pace off the puck to gain open ice. In later years he developed into a smart and patient center.
Equally good at dishing out passes to his wingers on the forehand and backhand. Accurate wrist shot and fine hands. Decent penalty killer.
NHL totals: 1015-204-528-732. Retired in 2006.
